certificate of actual innocence and that is a document. only a judge can find to allow tribble to sue the district for restitution. three motions were filed with the court and all have been ignored. when tribble went on trial more than 30 years ago, susan was a member of the jury show and 11 others found compelling evidence to convict him on the murder of john mccormick. >> i remembered feeling that the evident was so strong as it was presented, that it was enough for us to question his alibi. >> reporter: there was a one in 10 million chance that the hair didn't belong to tribble. susan said that she remembers deliberations in the jury room and is conflicted by the role later. >> intellectually, i don't feel

responsible and i think it was a thoughtful process and that we made, as a group, we made what ended up as a unanimous decision based on what it was we were offered. >> reporter: initially, she told the court i remember the other jurors. when we got to the jury room saying if they found a stocking cap with his hair, he had to be guilty and that was it. how else could his hair get in there unless he had the stocking cap on? the u.s. attorney's office is not opposing the request for the certificate of innocence that he needs for restitution, up to $50,000 for every year

locked up. although the judge threw out his conviction, she has remained silent with the court. she said that tribble needs the document. he's jobless and virtually homeless. and&this is a puzzling twist. two other d.c. men who were convicted and exonerated based on hair analysis by the fbi have both received innocence. he's precluded by law from commenting on the pending case. >> we know of three cases where hair analysis is discredited and wrongful convictions in d.c. are there going to be anymore? >> it's possible, brian, and that is because the u.s. attorney's office and the justice department launched an extensive review into the 60s, as we're told, to look at hair analysis cases.

back then, the fbi had's view of hair analysis that doesn't work and the dna is proving that and there might be other people sent to prison on hair analysis and that is flawed. the news edge on d.c. and nine members are behind jail tonight. the so-called shellout game robbed people and beat up their victims. investigators say many of the crimes are carried out in china town and some other parts of the city. there could be more arrests. a big story, the investigation into the deadly consulate attack in libya. he lied and that is how they started off a many of them shouting. >> reporter: both sides agreed

that ben ghazi was a tragedy and they want to get to the bottom of it. from there, this hearing split into stark party lines. republicans say the white house is engaged in a coverup and democrats say the gop is trying to score political points to embarrass the president. >> the committee will come to order. >> reporter: republicans on the house foreign affairs committee taking aim at the white house over ben ghazi. >> it's time to fess up. >> i think we need to have a real honest explanation. >> someone forgot to circle the calendar on 9/11. >> reporter: in the two months since four americans included chris stevens were killed, republicans say that that is still not clear why more security officers were not stationed at the u.s. consulate. >> there were not three even. there is supposed to be five. the unwritten rule there were three but there was one there. only one and that is lax

security. >> it's opened up more questions. >> reporter: the president defended his administration against charges that it's covered up. the calls for beefed up security in ben ghazi before the attack. >> and i am happy to cooperate. >> provided every bit of information we have. >> reporter: that statement drew a sharp accusation from california congressman dana rorbacher. >> the president himself his intensionally misinformed, read that, lied to the american people in the after math of this tragedy. >> reporter: outraged at the president being accused of lying, democrats shot back. >> i am very disturbed at some of the political rhetoric i hear. >> things take time. the most important thing is to get it right, and i urge that we resist the temptation to persist in political posturing. >> reporter: what congress didn't hear from anyone in the

administration itself. secretary of state hillary clinton is not expected to testify until next month. and despite having stepped down as the cia director, david petraeus is testifying behind closed doors on friday before the intelligence committee and is expected to lay out the timeline and is not expected, brian, to discuss the affair with biographer paula broadwell, which is the center of an fbi investigation. >> and is the attack going to be tied to the scandal? >> and that question now is how did paula broadwell obtain what they believe to be classified information on ben ghazi on the old computer that the fbi searchd the other night. it's important to remember that paula broadwell had a security clearance of her own, but at this point, it's unclear as to whether or not this was attained by broadwell herself or provided to her by petraeus. new information, the

identity of the fbi agent who saw the e-mails between broadwell and joe kelly has been revealed and frederick humphreys, it's believed, he reported to the supervisors that led to the investigation that uncovered the affair. president obama said that new yorkers will rebound. the president made the first trip to some of the hardest-hit areas in new york damaged by hurricane sandy. the new york mayor and new jersey governor toured parts of staten island, devastated by sandy. >> there is a lot of cleanup to do and people still need emergency help, they need heat and hower -- power, they need food and shelter, kids are still trying to figure out why where they going to school. >> the president also looked at

the queens area. the national research council found the nation's grid is spread out across hundreds of miles. many key pieces of equipment are unguarded or so old, they lack the sensors to limit the outages. the the portion of the report are given to the department of homeland security. the largest criminal penaltiy in u.s. district. bp agreed to pay $4 billion to the u.s. government over the next five years. and the record settlement in the gulf, bp agreed to a five- year probation term. two bp employees face manslaughter charges in connection to the deaths of 11 people who were killed when the oil rig exploded triggers the massive spill. straight ahead on the news edge, controversial fliers canvass a community. the hateful message posted on several car windshields. >> and the redskins headcoach, a victim of theft, sue. >> hey there, brian.

to throw back clouds. fredericksburg, maybe you have a couple of light sprinkles out of it and that is as close as that is going to get and i will keep an eye on it, especially with the temperatures like this around the region expected overnight. 37 the low in d.c. 36 for gaithersburg. again, expects the clouds to clear on out later tonight and allowing the temperatures in the suburbs do get into the low 30s again tonight. we'll keep it at 37 degrees for the district as the clouds generally erode overnight. tomorrow, friday that features a lot of sunshine and warmer. our temperature is getting up to 53 degrees. here is your planner and, yes, it will be nice to have the sunshine. make sure you pop the sunglasses into the backpack or brief case. 41 degrees at 8 in the morning. by noon, 49; by 4:00, 52 degrees with lots of sunshine. the high pressure is the reason why we will have so much sunshine around and, in fact, it's probably the reason why the weekend is going to look good, too. it will be hanging around keeping yet another coastal system at bay, we think this

weekend, we may get a few clouds from it, the system off of the coast is going have a hard time coming farther north. we'll have a bit of ridging left from the area of high pressure. for your weekend, we're featuring late day clouds on saturday with a temperature of 53 and sunday, yeah, more clouds than sun. right now, looks like it's going to be dry. the fox 5 accuweather seven-day forecast, we're looking at thanksgiving on the seven-day forecast as well. we're in great shape. not just through the weekend. we have nothing but sunshine for the most part, and a few clouds in there, brian, but no precipitation, and that is especially night nice when we look at tuesday-wednesday timeframe and into thanksgiving. no big travel problems that we see in the east coast. >> thank you, sue. it's been seven years since the skins beat a rookie quarterback and figured out the eagles first year. this sunday. scott smith is up next with the sports edge. nothing like agood hot bath. what if it's filled with wine? japan with a popar seasonal wine and getting the tub
